    When using dash as /bin/sh (as offered by the dash install procedure)
    the kernel-builder-script fails on line 98 (wrong arithmetic).
    Instead of
    REVISION=$((REVISION+1))
    you may use:
    ((REVISION=$REVISION+1))
    Dont know wheter this is a dash bug or not.

    Greetings

    I was under the impression that $(( )) was a posix feature.

    Arithmetic expansion with $(( )) is specified by POSIX. But assignment operators are not part of it.
